49 CF Basic Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator
Quote
The ARES Cool ARS-HC-CB-49 is a 49 cu. ft. Energy Star certified chromatography refrigerator built for mid-volume pharmaceutical, clinical, and research laboratory sample storage. Dual right-and-left-hinged glass doors open wide for full-shelf access, while microprocessor temperature control maintains a precise 1ยฐC to 10ยฐC range across eight adjustable shelves.
Hydrocarbon R290 refrigerant, foamed-in-place urethane insulation, and forced-draft circulation deliver energy-efficient cold storage performance for FDA-regulated environments. ETL and UL471 certification, RS-485 MODBUS communication, and remote alarm contacts support GMP and blood bank validation protocols. The unit serves as a versatile laboratory refrigerator for pharmaceutical R&D, lab reagent management, and chromatographic sample preservation in upright refrigeration deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions โ 49 CF Basic Series Glass Door Chromatography Refrigerator
What is the temperature range of the ARS-HC-CB-49 chromatography refrigerator?
The ARS-HC-CB-49 maintains an adjustable temperature range of 1ยฐC to 10ยฐC with 0.1ยฐC resolution. The microprocessor temperature controller and forced-draft air circulation system deliver precise temperature uniformity and rapid recovery after door openings, supporting pharmaceutical, clinical, and chromatographic sample storage applications.
What electrical requirements does the ARS-HC-CB-49 need?
The ARS-HC-CB-49 operates on 115V, 60 Hz, 4.5 Amps, 1/4 HP and ships with a NEMA 5-15 plug. The unit requires two separate facility electrical outlets โ one for the refrigerator and one for the interior duplex outlet provided for laboratory refrigeration accessory equipment and chromatographic instruments.
What is the difference between the ARES Cool Basic series and Plus series chromatography refrigerators?
The Basic series uses a microprocessor temperature controller with integrated digital display and alarm functions, while the Plus series adds a separate alarm module that operates 100% independently of the microprocessor controller for redundant monitoring. The ARS-HC-CB-49 Basic series carries a one-year parts and labor warranty plus a five-year compressor warranty; Plus series units offer extended two-year parts and labor coverage.
What applications is the ARS-HC-CB-49 chromatography refrigerator used for?
The ARS-HC-CB-49 supports chromatographic sample preservation, pharmaceutical reagent storage, clinical chemistry workflows, blood banking, and FDA/GMP-regulated cold storage operations. Typical deployments include research institutions, hospital pharmacies, pharmaceutical R&D facilities, and clinical diagnostic laboratories requiring validated 1ยฐC to 10ยฐC temperature control with audible, visual, and remote alarm capabilities.
Is the ARS-HC-CB-49 Energy Star certified?
Yes. The ARS-HC-CB-49 is Energy Star certified in addition to being ETL and C-ETL listed and UL471 certified. The combination of R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant, foamed-in-place high-density urethane insulation, and forced-draft circulation supports efficient operation in continuous-duty cold storage deployments.
